Original Outfitter since 1897

Since 1897, Filson has made the best-in-class gear for travel, work, and adventure. From the prospectors of the Alaska Gold Rush to generations of adventurers since, that standard has never changed. Built with time-tested signature materials like Mackinaw Wool, Tin Cloth, and Rugged Twill, our products are made to be used, relied on, and passed down. 

About Us
